20ft One Trip Shipping Container – Dark Green

Dark green is the colour that disappears. On a rural property, a golf course, a school ground or anywhere a planning condition asks for something “not visually prominent”, a bottle-green container reads as part of the landscape in a way a white or blue one never does. This 20ft unit is built to exacting ISO standards in China and has carried a single cargo into Australia, which is what keeps a structurally new container affordable here.

The shell is corrosion-resistant Cor-Ten steel, the floor is 28 mm marine plywood laid over steel cross members strong enough to take a forklift, and four vents run air through to control condensation.

Specifications

Placement on a visible block

Colour is often the difference between an approval and an objection. Most Australian councils treat a container on residential land as a structure requiring consent, and several will approve it subject to colour, setback and screening conditions. Our council approval guide covers what to expect state by state before you order.

Condensation, and how to avoid it

Four vents handle normal use. If you are storing textiles, paper or electronics through a humid summer, add desiccant sticks and keep stock off the floor on pallets — steel walls sweat when the outside temperature drops faster than the contents do.

Alternatives in the range

This shell is also stocked in gentian blue, cobalt blue and white. Used 20ft containers cost considerably less if appearance is not a factor — see the used range or the whole 20ft category.
